Your arguement always leaves out the fact that the Palestinians had the state of Israel inflicted on them by force.
The ISraelis were terrorists back then including many who have been in parliament mutilating the bodies of British soldiers.
The trouble now, as in Ireland is that one side is constantly being told not to use violence whilst wanting change and the other side wants no change while having the military back-up to use extreme violence.
If the Palestinians (or simply the non-Jewish portion of the Israeli population) were actually treated as equal citizens then as they become the majority the mmm Jewish government would be voted out.
There should really be no more place for a simplistic religious based government here than for the fundamentalist governments that we have seen in the case of Afghanistan.
These abhorent hate and ignorance filled organisations will hopefully disappear in time.
